Interesting and absorbing
As a quizzer, I’m always looking to fill the gaps of my knowledge. This book appealed for the variety of pivotal moments in history it offered in bite-sized chunks. I was pleasantly surprised to find that instead of dry facts and statistics, each chapter was a well-written story in its own right. So easy to digest in that format and a fun way of learning.
